If you buy used: 1.Change the generator fluid (it's cvt j4 fluid but this vehicle does not have a cvt) 2. Change the front and rear differential fluid (SP-3 transmission fluid) 3.Change the oil every 3k (I don't care what the book says, do it every 3k with full synthetic) 4.Have a qualified mechanic check your ground wires for corrosion.

Very fair summation of the Mitsubishi Phev. We have had one for 18 months and our findings are identical. It’s quiet, well made and we love how quiet and free of rattles it is. Our experience is that we do get 30 miles on a full charge in summer mixed motoring 18-20 in the winter. We try wherever possible to use electric mode around town and have had the mpg up in the high 90-98 mpg. Fully ICE mode on a long motorway trip saw 39mpg, usually it hovers in the mid to high 40’s. Our previous diesel averaged 48mpg so the electric boost shows how close the performance over the petrol PHEV is to that. We live in rural Lincolnshire with few charging points, we too want to go fully electric and that will happen when the infrastructure is there to support full EV use. For now the PHEV is a good compromise especially as we use it in electric mode whenever possible, aided by our solar panels and judicious use of Octopus Go and the cheap 5p rate. PHEV’s do have a place in weaning people from ICE to full electric and whilst we appreciate that some question the need for a car with two kinds of propulsion and say it’s wasteful, for us we have proved that we have lessened our harmful emissions and also paid out less in fuel fees. Others may not do that, it depends on how far you travel using the ICE engine and how often you charge. It’s an option though to try an electric car without range anxiety.

No road tax and all my journeys are short so I only fill it with petrol once every 3 months. I only get 20 miles on electric charge on the 2014 model so now looking to upgrade to a newer model with a larger battery. It's a lovely car to drive and plenty of room for our 4 dogs.

Got my 2nd hand 2017 2.0 Outlander a month ago. Love it. Yes - i do like to keep it running on electric .. You say the engine is noisy but to be fair - its still quieter than my Honda CRV. It does feel a little different once the engine kicks in, may be not quite as smooth as electric mode but again, not a great deal of difference. If I didnt keep looking at the energy flow screen, Id probably not even notice. In fact the only time i notice engine noise is when Im accelerating up a hill and the engine kicks in trying to generate more electric (not running direct to the wheels) All in all it was well worth the switch to hybrid from full fuel and as I only do about 25 miles a day to and from work, it hardly ever needs to drive directly using petrol. Pre heating the car while its still plugged in at home before setting off in the morning and not over using the heater while driving really helps with the driving range.

As an owner of a 2016 model for 5 years I will say that this is probably the best review I've seen/read for this car. Mine does not benefit from the slightly more efficient engine and larger battery of the 2018 model but the majority of comments are exactly the same. I wish I had the Pure EV switch too as it is annoying when it chooses to switch on the engine if I apply just a little too much acceleration and it is incredibly frustrating when below 10C the engine kicks in if the heater is switched on. I also fully understand that the engine seems loud when it kicks in but that is partly because it is unusually quiet in general and especially when in EV mode so more noticeable. It has been a great car and I am happy to keep it for a few more years.

If anyone on this post has some real world questions on how well (or not) the PHEV Mitsubishi does in both warm and very cold climates, please feel free to ask away. My wife drives one 2019 Mitsubishi PHEV and I drive an identical one (same year but different color) since new. These are both leased vehicles and our first real world tests, particularly in cold weather. We live in Minnesota if that tells you anything. One vehicle has just over 11,000 miles on it and the second one has over 15,000 miles on it. The first year we kept both in a heated garage for both warm and cold weather testing. The second year, both vehicles stayed outside for both warm and cold weather testing. I needed to know this information myself personally to learn if electric cars (with a back up generator) was the way to go or not for our very cold state. Our consensus is in. We love the recharge capabilities of the limited ranged PHEV’s. Works fine in warm weather trips to town (roughly 15 miles round trip) for local errands on the charged lithium batteries. Cold weather is a game changer however. With lights on, heaters, electric seats and blowers running and sometimes the windshield wipers, the cold weather puts a heavy load on the batteries (as we expected). They don’t last long. Even if we had a much larger capable battery, I can see this climate limits battery use. Thank goodness for the gasoline backup generator that keeps us going or we would be sitting at the side of the road like a Tesla owner running around showing off his fast sprints ahead that uses lots of power in any climate. Basically in a nutshell, fossil fuels along with a battery combination is a must need in the colder climates, just as I suspected all along if you want to drive an electric car. We have plenty of miles on both short and long trips to prove our shared analysis with you. But all in all, we are happy with the Mitsubishi PHEV’s. Now in just less than two years, we have to make the two decisions to hand the keys to the dealer or purchase them. By the way, if anyone is wondering how they pull trailers, they work just fine for that. We had the dealer install hitches on both. Again, this was a real world test for us personally to see how they handle and run.

The annoyance while switching from electric to internal combustion engine is because of the dynamics of the chassis with a heavy battery pack installed at the bottom of the car’s chassis that was once designed for an old internal combustion engine only. So, it has nothing to do with your feelings but the dynamics of sitting on an old style platform which is now carrying a heavy battery pack, lowering the centre of gravity of the car. So it will be an issue until car manufacturers totally redesign the chassis to offer a proper hybrid car.

Your comments about mileage and range in EV mode are far far more better info than how it goes through fast corners. It's heavy and bulky electric SUV and not sports car. I hate Outlander reviews where reviewers (Mat Watson i.ex.) talk about in how oldish style rear seats recline. Who cares for that? This is vehicle for saving money.

It’s the best of both worlds for a lot of people, I have the 2.4l with the slightly bigger battery, I can go to work and back twice and a shopping trip in summer if I’m lucky, that’s all of my normal driving on electricity, I use around a tankful of petrol every 2/3 months. I go North to see my family 2 or 3 times a year, I drive it like a normal car (except for using the paddles to slow down) for the 600 mile round trip and it’s as good as most SUV’s fuel wise. It’s also a great load carrier and very quiet and comfortable in both the front and back seats, I also like the fact that there is no transmission or gears, it uses 2 electric motors (1 for each axle) and there is just so much less to go wrong or need servicing.

I guess with the PHEV vehicles, it depends a lot on your daily commute length. If you live in a rural/vast area, or need to do a lot of highway driving to get to work, might not be so great. I personally live in a calm neighborhood of a big city (Montreal). My work is like 5-6km (3-4?miles?) from home, the groceries, convenience stores, drugstores, and restaurants I go to are mostly within 2-3km, some are up to 10 km (6 miles?) from my place, and most of my family is within 30 km (20 miles?) from my place as well, in smaller towns, with some highways between us, or a shorter(distance), but longer(time) trips staying on city roads only, and a few activities I do around 100km (60miles) from my place. So for all my regular commute, the Outlander will be fully EV for me, no problem at all. When I visit my family, I can stay EV in town between my place and the highway, get up to speed on the highways, then let the gas engine coast me to their place, recharging the batteries a but, and then return to EV mode in their town up to their home, and back to my place. Compared to my old thirsty Subaru (especially in city driving), this is no gas at all! Then for my longer commute to my remote activities, same thing as the family visits, but using a bit more gas. However, you never need to plan your charging in advance. If I want to go to Gaspesie, 500+ miles in one direction from my place.. I can just leave right now and drive until I get there basically, just stopping for quick gas fillups. With a pure EV... that trip has to be planned... and charging sessions are long. The concept of a PHEV is very cool to me. I know some companies are working on electric-hydrogen hybrid vehicles. Hydrogen is a bit scary, but it is almost 100% green. If we had solid Hydrogen infrastructure... This would be the best-ever solution! purely EV on short trips... and poop water vapor on longer ones XD.

@ShortCircuit Many of your frustrations sounds very familiar. I drive the Volvo 2019 V60 T8 PHEV. It's has 10.4kWh battery with 38km in winter and 45km in Summer. The system itself is very well designed and transitions are really good. The good thing about it is that navigation is smart and when you put in a location and use waypoints it will divide the battery capacity over the whole trip if you can't charge at your destination. Too bad that this feature isn't prominent in the manual, so hardly anyone knows about it. I have driven it for 14.000km and the average fuel consumption is 3.1l/100km, so I drive it electric most of the time. This week I even and an alert that said 'Aged fuel, start engine to consume fuel'. I ignored it and after 1 trip it forced the engine on in the next trip and stayed on this until the tank was empty enough to refuel. The V60 doesn't have paddles but it has a B stand for regenerative braking. On a 38km trip I usually manage to regenerate 1 to 1.5kWh back into the battery. Electric consumption is mostly around 22kWh/100km. It's a nice car but I can't wait until our Polestar arrives :)

Actually, the ICE (gas engine) could work either as generator only or as propulsor. The review states wrongly that the Outlander has a CVT gearbox, while there is no gearbox for the ICE (there is something much more complex, but no gears!). So, the ICE could push the car ONLY above a certain speed (it’s like to have only the 5th gear!), at lower speed the car goes with the electrical engines, and the energy for that comes either from the battery or from the generator. Same for the reverse.

Well done for stressing that a PHEV will only suit some people's needs and that a certain mindset will help owners to get the best from a PHEV. I WAS planning to buy an Outlander PHEV as it ideally suits my needs, but I've been put off by Mitsubishi's decision to pull out of Europe, especially as I tend to keep my cars for about 10 years, e.g. possible future problems with availability of spares and dealer support, plus lowering residual values. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this as a current owner.

According to my software I have 3 or 4 cels that have developed very low capacity but also one whole block which are all lower than the rest of the pack. So a full recon would cost close to £1000 inc vat and they might charge more if they are replacing whole blocks of battery cells. I will go for a full replacement pack from a low milage vehicle. That will cost more initially but then when I sell the old pack as 57% original capacity to someone wanting a home battery storeage system I should recover some of my money.

What you don’t say is that when the engine turns on it powers the battery to charge the battery up on long journeys when the battery has charge the engine turns off again I own this car and I can get 150 mpg I don’t even use the home charger the engine acts as a generator to charge the battery it will power the front wheels if you push it hard up hills or towing a caravan but generally normal driving you can expect around 150 mpg and that’s with the air conditioning on I will never go back to another car after driving this .

I miss my Outlander - it was easy to drive, comfortable, had decent boot space and enough EV range to easily cover my commute. Surprisingly capable in the snow as well. If anyone has YV68 JHH, take care of her and look out for Ainsley 😁

Seriously considering one of these now that diesel is 20p+ more per litre than petrol - tied with Solar PV and the slightly bigger battery, I was particularly interested in the manner in which it can either charge or use the engine - the mpg figures on just petrol was also useful to know as this would be the break even - the pure electric driving is a bonus for me...thanks

I'm considering buying this as my first car. Would you recommend for someone without plug-in capability at home, i.e. charging only on engine/brakes? I figure it would still save me a lot in fuel costs. What attracts me to this car is its size, quietness, and affordability. Thanks

if you don‘t like the feeling of burning fuel just buy an (full) electric car :-) in my case I need a car being able to pull a trailer (1500 kg of weight), and, unfortunately, still in 2021 there are to less BEV‘s available for that use case -> Outlander PHEV.

With respect, it does not have a CVT (2:47), and you kinda should know that as an eOwner :-) I'm mentioning this not to beat up on you, though, just to inform listeners. When the engine operates like that it is generating electrical energy to drive the motors, which is what gives it the same disconnected feel a CVT does. Only in high demand situations does the engine connect to the wheels mechanically, and then it is at a fixed ratio.

That's a fair point. What I should have said is that with the engine on it feels a lot like driving a cvt car. Reminds me of an old volvo had that had a cvt.

@@ShortCircuitPS2 Yup, I agree with you: it's that weird and sometimes discomforting disconnect between engine speed and road speed. It really bothered my son when I was teaching him to drive in our Prius: he found it very difficult to keep his speed under control without the audible feedback. Experienced drivers like us wouldn't have trouble with it, new new drivers might. Anyway, I hope you'll forgive me for being pedantic; folks like me in the market for a new vehicle look to intrepid and generous (with your time) reviewers like you for answers to our nagging questions :-) I've been agonizing for a while on the choice between the Mitsubishi Outlander and the Honda Clarity. I'm going to go for the Clarity, as its longer EV range and better overall mileage better suits my needs. The cargo space is good enough for most needs, and i can fit a trailer hitch to tow a trailer with my motorcycle, etc.

Very helpful review. How do you track oil change intervals? For an internal combustion engine, normally an oil change is based on elapsed distance. It could also be based on operating hours. Is there a prompt from the vehicle that tells you when the oil needs to be changed? Likewise, with brake fluid, if I use regenerative braking then the brake fluid would not see as much use.
@ScubaAnt72

I'm curious to know about the oil change interval also. Engine hours seems logical (that's what marine engines etc. use). As for the brake fluid IMO it's good to change that periodically as it can absorb moisture and cause corrosion in the braking system regardless of how much you use it.

I have a 2015 model and an MG5 EV, last time I filled up the PHEV it worked out at 347 mpg. Very comfortable and spacious car but frustrating when it uses petrol, pulling out of junctions with a heavy right foot, or putting the heater on
@peterball8241

To get 20mpg you must never charge and have a lead right foot. No point in a PHEV that isn't charged daily. I plug my phone, watch and car in overnight.

There are companies who will do conversions of ICE cars to full electric, and there will be more in future. I wonder if, in a few years time, we'll see PHEVs like the Outlander being converted to full electric, at which point they'll also benefit from receiving more advanced battery technology and management systems. Bradley, if you see this, would you consider having such a conversion done on your Outlander? Do you think it would be worth it?

I bet you didn't pay anything near the cost of Polestar or BMW. Disclosure I own a 2014 Outlander GT V6. Great machine. Powerful, but it burns premium fuel and plenty of it. Gets the MPG of a small truck. But is also weigh a lots and as a rated carrying weight of 1158 lbs which is more than some small trucks. Rated to tow 3,500 lbs but I don't tow. S-AWC is outstanding in snow up to 8 inches but can muscle its way through 10 inches. I've had it for 10 years.

My problem is I am stuck in Sri Lanka due to the current Corvid issue, and ended up buying this lovely car. Down side is that the dis[lay is in Japanese. I would love to bring this car back with me to UK. How do I convert the display to English ?? Would I have to change the SD card , if so do you know where I could get one from?? Would appreciate your help.

I bought one in 2017 and I love it, though it has some annoyances. The GPS is awful and I wonder who the hell designed a GPS which, on a roundabout, tells me to take a slight right turn. Thankfully that only occurred at one location and I assume that there may have been a change in the roundabout that the GPS was unaware of. Next the alarms and warnings: it beeps to tell me to put on my seatbelt when reversing. That is not a legal requirement (manoeuvring). Apart from those niggles it has been a superb car. Pity that Mitsubishi no longer sell in Europe.

You're on the wrong side of the road! Looking at it as a Canadian like me, eh. But the choice of a 2023 Outlander with the new 20KW battery versus a 2023 18KW Rav4 Prime.....and Woodland Edition at that? It really comes down to you're needs. Toyota prime has the greater overall towing capacity from what I can find and overall more range and mileage. Can I have both? One for around town and one for those weekend adventures
